    • Targa Florio Porsche 908/3 Test Car I had a white NSR Porsche 908/3 body and looked for a Targa Florio livery but it looked like they have all been done by our talented members. I came across a Test Car painted red but the images I could find were mostly black and white with the odd colour photo. My scratch built chassis used a Slot It motor pod and I have to thank Ken for drilling the 4 holes through the brass stock to accept the pod.  You can't beat a Drill Press!

    • Another Indycar After looking at all the wonderful builds for the Indycar class, I felt inspired and decided to join in. I used the reliable KRZ aluminum chassis, DArt Watson Roadster kit, RS Slot wheels, and of course DArt urethane tires. The car is the Bryant Heating and Cooling Special driven by Len Sutton.  Something a little different since we already have AJ and Parnelli liveried cars.

    • Honda RA 271 I have always liked the Honda F1 cars and own the excellent DArt Honda RA 273.  I purchased a "Munter" John Warren Honda RA271 kit over a year ago. The inserts provided were too large to fit the RS Slot 15 x 7 wheels so DArt inserts were used instead along with DArt tires, mirrors, and the red Sun off a DArt decal sheet The resin exhausts looked too fragile so I bent some copper wire and reproduced the exhaust system. The driver figure has seat belts molded in however I believe they were not used in the real world of 1964.  Since I was not aiming for total accuracy, I decided to use it along with a car # that was not used during the season. So here it is.

    • Los Angeles Slot Car Museum Greetings: I was looking at Google News and noticed a story (or paid advertisement?) in Motor Trend about the LASCM.    Thinking about my Revell Lang Cooper, Gar Vic, and Dynamic Chassis slot cars buried in a dump somewhere makes me ask "WHAT WAS I THINKING?" https://www.motortrend.com/features/los-angeles-slot-car-museum-profile

    • Sadler Mk 5 MIA mentioned the Sadler in the image with Ludwig Heimrath.  As mentioned, an interesting Canadian built car and Race Spirit Models has cast it but it ain't cheap! https://racespiritmodels.com/en/slot-cars-kits/1-kit-sadler-mk-5.html

    • Dart Hobbies Porsche 804 Four years ago, I read Art's post on how to prepare the Dart Porsche 804 kit and I immediately  wanted one. Followed most of his advice and placed  it over a simple chassis - from a simple mind. Originally it had an AB Slot motor bracket but I was never happy with the performance.  I have since built a new chassis with a homemade motor plate allowing me to angle the motor and achieve a lower ground clearance.  Just waiting use it in a race.

    • Ford Model T Hot Rod Greetings from Scarborough.  It's time to contribute to this Forum after reading it for so long.  Although I race with "the other Club", I did race a few R32 events several years ago and Hot Rods was one of the classes.   After using a borrowed car, I decided to scratch build my own.   Despite being in the Hobby since the 60's (off and on), I never a soldered a chassis together so this was going to be interesting.   I used the Lindberg 1925 Ford Model T and added a box (made from styrene) in the rear to hide the crown gear and AB Slot motor bracket. It has  RS Slot wheels with Dart inserts and Dart tires of course.   For a first attempt, I was quite pleased with it.
